Rated SMZ-TMP DS for Bacterial Infection Prophylaxis Report

I was put on this for preventative measures after having a Nexplanon insertion. I was put on the generic form of Bactrim Ds 800-160 Tab C. I usually tolerate medicine really well, usually with no side effects at all. Ive been on many different antibiotics but this medication has made me feel extreme nausea since the first day I took it. I have one pill left and I'll be happy when I finish this medication.

Rated SMZ-TMP DS for Sinusitis Report

I was being treated for a sinus infection which included swollen nasal tissues, phlegm, stuff nose, and the most hardest time to breath. My doctor gave me this Rx, twice a day, MucinexDM twice a day and a nasal aerosol Zetonna (I've never been on that before). I tolerated all the meds well, and still took my Vitamin D, Zyertic allergy pill and calcium pills at night. I did find that the Zetonna was working better for me at night since my nose felt worse at night. What I did notice is that the Rx SMZ,TMP made me lose my appetite; which is not a big deal. I wasn't hungry during the day or even getting up in the morning. A little bit of diarrhea, slight upset stomach. After eating some greek yogurt that seemed to help with the diarrhea. So far this combo of meds is working well. I have no insurance.

Rated SMZ-TMP DS for Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Report

It cleared my skin up quickly. Though I am not totally clean of the infection, my skin and boils have gone away but a couple, and my skin looks normal now.

Rated SMZ-TMP DS for Bronchitis- chronic Report

I have chronic bronchitis with much mucus and phlem , cough etc. I was prescribed Cipro (3 times) and it didn't help, then Avalalox (didn't help) and now I'm getting better thanks to this drug. Note: all of the rx's I was prescribed included being on prednisone at the same time. Most of my mucis is gone and my breathing has improved dramatically. I was prescribed this for 10 days and by the 4th day I was noticing a pleasant change in my breathing and congestion.

Rated SMZ-TMP DS for Bacterial Infection Prophylaxis Report

I had a quickly spreading skin infection and had to take this and another antibiotic. It really worked well to stop the infection from spreading and by the third day there was only a localized swelling. I lasted eight days before the side effects stopped me from finishing the coarse. Nausea and stomach pain, joint aches, feeling very tired and dizzy, panting if I have to walk anywhere. The wound has mostly healed, and even though it has been two days since I stopped, I still feel ill. It's worth it, but not by much.

Rated SMZ-TMP DS for Bacterial Infection Prophylaxis Report

My mother took this medicine after she had skin cancer surgery. she felt fine before surgery. She felt awful after taking this medicine. She felt weak and lost her appetite. She couldn't sleep. She stopped taking the medicine after two times. She ended up going to the doctor a week later. They put her in the hospital for a week because she had an irregular heartbeat. All in all, it took several weeks to regain health after two doses of this medicine.

Rated SMZ-TMP DS for Sinusitis Report

Most horrible medicine ever! I had extreme anxiety, muscle pain and weakness, heart palpitations, and panic attacks. I never an antibiotic would do this. And it's not in any of the side effects I had to read blogs to find I wasn't the only one with this problem.
